Default The Murphy bed project

I know the feeling.



Yeah! I have a very good friend that I work with on occasion, he was
putting up a new fence for a customer and boxed his truck in. He had to
remove a section. ;~)


We had to put a counter top in a recessed older closet that the doors
had been removed to make a kitchenette.
Well in order to put the counter top in with the attached 4" sides we
could not install the cabinets under until the counter top was in.
Nice work.


Thank you.

And I bet you were happy when the dust settled.


Extremely happy that the first one went in, confident that the second
would go in. LOL

Well this large project has finally come to an end and the money is in
my pocket.

Oddly the bed was easier to bring into the customers designated room
than the two side towers. We had to lean the towers away from the door
opening to have enough room to slide them under the top of the door jam.
Using a towel under the tower we pushed the tower top away from the door
opening and used the towel to pull the bottom into the door opening.
Because there was a hall lamp directly above we had to lean, pull, lean,
pull and so on until we cleard the jam and lamp. WHEW! There was not
enough room to lean the tops of the towers towards the door opening. I
don't want to be around if they decide to remove them from that room.

Oak and Arkansas Black Walnut for the pulls. Drawers are KV G-slide
full extension side mount soft close. 4 adjustable shelve in each.
Towers are apparently 4 incher taller than I thought.
